Refreshment Break

English to Spanish Other Petroleum Eng/Sci For a LPG conference
Hola a todos!

Este término aparece en la agenda de una presentación o conferencia sobre GLP en México. El traductor sugiere "Receso para despejarse", pero no me parece correcto.

Refreshment breaks usually provide beverages and possibly a snack. They also allow attendees to get up, stretch, visit the restroom, call the office, check email, or move to another meeting room for the next breakout session.

A refreshment break is an energy break. It is intended to refresh and sharpen attention. It also helps alleviate boredom that tends to develop when guests are engaged in tedious business activities during the day...

Será correcto "Descanso para refrigerio"? O solamente "Descanso"? Muchísimas gracias de antemano!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Neil Ashby

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

pausa

es solo una sugerencia porque las opciones son varias, pero yo suelo usar pausa
para el café, pausa para un refrigerio o pausa a secas, que es lo que prefiero.

saludos,
